Question: What does the symbol for Dog mean?

The guardian. Dogs were supposed to accompany the dead across the ninefold river to the underworld. The dog God Xolotl accompanied the sun into the West as it sank into the jaws of the earth. The symbol for the dog actually means a trap, the dog was used as a guard dog and carved to represent a trap at that location.
